黄石2024-2025学年第二学期期末教学质量检测试题(卷)初三英语

1、   People do volunteer work for many reasons. Let’s look at several top reasons. After each reason, there is an example. Check (打上钩) the box if the example matches (与…相一致) what you want to get from the volunteer experience:

You want to help in a place which is important to you. For example, you might choose to clean up the city parks because you want them to be better places.

You want to meet others. When I moved to the town I now live in, I volunteered at my son’s school because I wanted to meet other people with their children.

You want to learn something new. 我的儿子过去很喜欢戏剧，但是他害怕上台。After watching so many plays on stage (在舞台上）by others, he now volunteers for one theater.他想得到一些训练并且慢慢地学到舞台经验。

Which did you check? Your reason or reasons for becoming a volunteer will help guide you along your way. Maybe you didn’t check any. That is fine. There are other reasons why you want to become a volunteer. Although everyone has his or her own reason, becoming a volunteer will open a new door for us and may change our life, and you will feel like you really make a difference!

23、Every day I pass by a homeless old man on the street. He usually sat near where I go to school. Whenever I pass by, he says “hello” in a cheerful manner, and I always say it back. I give him any extra (多余的) change I have.

The old man always wears an old watch. It is not an expensive watch by any means, but it serves its purpose. One day I noticed he wasn’t wearing it any more.

24、   The 31st Summer Olympics will be held in Brazil in 2016. Before this global sporting event, we started thinking about sports that didn’t exist any more and sports that were maybe a little strange. Read the following ones that have ever been included in the past Olympic Games.

Live Pigeon Shooting (1900)

This bloody event was only held once, at the 1900 Paris Games. Nearly 300 birds were killed during the competition, leaving a crime scene of feathers and blood. This is the only event in Olympic history that involved killing live animals.

Kabaddi (1936)

This sport is popular in South Asia. The object is for one member of a team to enter the other side’s half of the field, and score points. The attacker then returns to his half of the field.

12 Hour Bicycle Race (1896)

Seven riders got on their bikes at 5 a.m. and rode until 5 p.m. Four riders dropped out before noon, but the winner, Adolf Schmal of Austria, managed about 180 miles. Only Schmal and one other finished.

Tug of War (1900—1920)

This may seem like a basic PE class sport more than an Olympic event, but Tug of War was actually one of the first sports played at the Olympic games in 500 BC.

There are two teams of eight; the winning team must pull the other team six feet forward.

Swimming Obstacle Race (1900)

The athletes had to climb over a pole (杆子) and a row of boats, and then swim under another row of boats. All of this was done in the Seine River, so they also had to fight against the water. This event was only ever held in 1900, in Paris.
